lately my daughter (3.5 yo) has gotten into the habit of being the leader of games. and when there is something that goes different than what she has in her mind, she feels angry. sometimes translating that into punches or bites

if she decided that a piece of paper is a menu of the restaurant and one of her friends says it is an airplane: boom. conflict. we just had one of those and had to go away from the house of her friend because of the conflict

and it’s hard to deal with it. any stories you have around this? what works? what doesn’t?

it’s so wild to reject a behavior of your own kid, and feel and see that she is developing her own character and personality. the good and the bad. how to hold space for that?

We have a sibling who has an issue with loosing games and it is intense when se doesn't get it her way, we explain that it stops being fun and that best is to have fun together, and trying to make her have that sense of togetherness more than winning, ofc, it's a different scenario, keep it up
